Eg Multidimensional array

Array

    [0] => Array
        (
              


        

Answer 1

This should work for arrays like the one of your example ($arr is an array like the one in your example, I haven't defined it here for simplicity's sake):

$res = array();
foreach($arr as $value) {
    foreach($value as $key => $number) {
        (!isset($res[$key])) ?
            $res[$key] = $number :
            $res[$key] += $number;
    }
}

print_r($res);

Answer 2

This should work for you:

<?php

    $arr = array(
            array(30, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 2, 5), 
            array(50, 4, 8, 4, 4, 6, 9, 2)
        );

    $result = array();

    foreach($arr[0] as $k => $v)
        $result[$k] = array_sum(array_column($arr, $k));

    print_r($result);

?>

Output:

Array ( [0] => 80 [1] => 9 [2] => 14 [3] => 11 [4] => 12 [5] => 15 [6] => 11 [7] => 7 )

EDIT:

If your php version is under 5.4 you can use this simple workaround:

function arrayColumn(array $array, $column_key, $index_key=null){
    if(function_exists('array_column ')){
        return array_column($array, $column_key, $index_key);
    }
    $result = [];
    foreach($array as $arr){
        if(!is_array($arr)) continue;

        if(is_null($column_key)){
            $value = $arr;
        }else{
            $value = $arr[$column_key];
        }

        if(!is_null($index_key)){
            $key = $arr[$index_key];
            $result[$key] = $value;
        }else{
            $result[] = $value;
        }

    }

    return $result;
}

(Note that you have to use arrayColumn())
